Indeed. Most of them have news as opposed to ramblings about what some company might or might not do.

That was kind of the point.]]>Jan 15th 2010 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/Jan 15th 2010 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/Jan 15th 2010 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/

"Steve Wozniak, gadget guru, and cofounder of Apple computer, has made a confession: he bought the Nexus One and it is his favorite gadget.

According to an NBC affiliate in the San Francisco bay area, Wozniak did not mention the Nexus One by name, but rather said “Well, it is the latest one. It’s a non-Apple product, but it’s a gadget that just came out yesterday.” The Woz gave this statement just 24 hours after the Nexus One was officially unveiled."]]>Jan 15th 2010 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/tech/Wozniaks-Shocking-Admission-Hes-a-Google-Lover-81358352.html]]>Jan 15th 2010 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/
Hmm,, if you knew anything about Woz you would know he just loves gadgets. It's not like he only uses Apple stuff. Hardly news.

Try harder next time]]>Jan 15th 2010 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/

That's cool... Wox bought a Nexus One. And other people bought 19,999 of them in the first week.

Fantastic sales numbers, I say.

Apple has been very good of concealing their product to the curious cats -- I'm talking about their tablet -- even just 12 days from the official statement all we have are rumors only.. http://bit.ly/apple-tablet-details-compiled

Its starting to became clear, that it is on these rumors Apple makes their product unveiling more exciting (They use anticipation to build a tremendous longing for their products) ]]>Jan 15th 2010 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/
Well, he has Apples' newest iPhone too (like 3 of them), since iPhones come out every Summer. So, its not like he loves Google either.

This will then become the de-facto basis of input in all devices and anyone not using it will be constantly vilified like the non-fruity scum that they are.

I so wish it will have a stylus and watch as Engadget does a 180, stating it's the best method of input EVAR! I mean, wasn't it just a couple of days ago they were going coco about an app that turns MacBook touchpads into drawing tablets. Now if that's what comes with an Apple tablet, even I would find that compelling and Engadget will look rather foolish.]]>Jan 15th 2010 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/Jan 15th 2010 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/Jan 15th 2010 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/Jan 15th 2010 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/
Also I don't think Engadget had a problem with styli themselves, but with the fact that WinMo 6.1 almost REQUIRES you to use one. And that is a valid concern.]]>Jan 15th 2010 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/Jan 15th 2010 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/

But you have to remember, in order to get invites to Apple events (important to a popular tech blog, well, MOSTLY "tech" blog) you have to kiss it's ass and grovel at it's feet. One might assume that also means proving free publicity at every possible opportunity by re-posting the same asinine product rumours for the Nth time.

Oh, and NEVER CRITISISE APPLE. iLounge did once, and they were banned from Apple events.]]>Jan 15th 2010 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/Jan 15th 2010 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/15/apple-rumor-roundup-iphone-patent-4-0-edition/your explanation is very likely correct and shows how indirect marketing works (even if the product does not or will never exist).
